Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

Atalanta looked at the man in front of her and sighed. He looked very young, even younger than herself, but his sigh had the feel of an old man who had been on the road for a long time but still couldn't find the truth he needed and felt helpless.

However, this handsome and youthful-looking "old man" in front of him quickly put away his somewhat decadent and helpless feeling, and instead showed a sunny smile:

"I will teach you two different kinds of magic, one to deal with spirits and curses, and the other to more comprehensively control the water element."

"Water elemental magic? But didn't we agree yesterday...what extra should I pay?"

Morpheus shook his head: "Don't worry, someone paid for you."

"Someone paid for me?" Atalanta became more and more confused, but Morpheus smiled and said, "Who did you tell about this? That person paid the price."

Atalanta opened her mouth. The only two people she told the story to were Diana and Artemis. However, Diana only knew the story from a vague perspective and didn't even know that the person she was going to learn magic from was Morpheus...

As for Lady Artemis, did she come down specifically to pay the price for me?!

But, how is this possible?! This... this is actually...

Atalanta thought about what Artemis had said to her, and she actually had the idea that this was really possible.

But, if that's the case, what did Lady Artemis give him? She must have given him some treasure.

Atalanta thought about it and became more serious.

"This is all Lady Artemis's sacrifice. I must work hard!"

The girl thought so, like a child who studies hard to repay her parents.

When Morpheus saw that the girl suddenly became serious, he laughed secretly and began to teach her the magic he wanted to teach, which was a completely simplified modern magic based on the magic of the Golden Dawn.

He didn't want Atalanta to learn the original magic, as it might accidentally damage her brain!

Chapter 49 Graduation

Inside the palace, the beautiful queen, the newlywed Percy Belle, asked Jason, "My dear Jason, are you leaving?"

Her delicate heart could feel Jason's hesitation at this moment, and this hesitation made Jason seem less happy these days. It was as if he was hiding something in his heart, but was unwilling to tell herself.

Percy Belle knew that Jason was worried that she would not be able to bear it, but as a woman who had taken on the responsibilities of queen early on, she also had her own persistence.

So, she was the first to bring up this topic.

Jason was silent. He liked Percy Belle very much. He felt that this girl was really great, very considerate and gentle. He was very happy here.

"Beautiful Queen, I almost fell here. To be honest, I am willing to fall into your arms." Jason thought for a moment and said cautiously.

He was thinking about how to prevent the person in front of him from being too sad, because he knew very well that when he really told them that he was leaving, no matter how strong the person was, they would be very sad.

"But I can't. Just like I said at the beginning, I have my own goals, and I need to move forward towards them... and..." Jason said, sighing, "I've been having strange dreams lately."

"Did you dream of strange things?" asked Percy Belle. She was indeed sad, but after listening to Jason's words, she was willing to let him leave. The most important thing was that she was very worried about his dreams.

Dreams are mysterious and can bring enlightenment!

That's why she asked the other party so anxiously.

Perhaps Percy Belle was worried about Jason, and that this dream might be a bad one, as it would make Jason unhappy.

"I dreamed of a mysterious god. It was the distant twin stars, an existence called the Guiding Light. He told me not to forget my purpose... I also dreamed of my father and the agreement I made with my uncle. Everything told me that I shouldn't stay here, I should keep moving forward..."

"Jason, this is God's revelation to you. You should continue on your journey and accomplish your goal. But if you still think of me in the future, then come back after you accomplish your goal. You can take care of this place and lead the people here!"

As Xu Percy Belle spoke, her cheeks turned red again. She said what she had always wanted to say but had not dared to say these days.

"You can truly become the king here and inherit my father's position, Jason!"

Jason opened his mouth wide. He had never expected that Percy Belle would say such a thing. However, the king of this country just left on his own. If he came back again, he would need to give up his position!

"I recognize you. You have enough courage and extraordinary wisdom, and you can really lead us well. Therefore, I recognize you as the king here, and I will marry you and become your wife."

Percy Belle said this, her tone was so firm.

"Not only me, but my people will also recognize you. Everyone will acknowledge you as the king here, Jason!

"Some of those heroes may come back, while others may choose not to return. However, their descendants will allow boys to appear here again. Under your leadership, I believe this place will return to its original state!"

Looking at such a beautiful and considerate Percy Belle, Jason couldn't help wanting to hug her, but Percy Belle gently stopped Jason and said again: "But you really have to leave, Jason, go and fulfill your dream, I will wait for you!"

Yes, it is time for me to fulfill my dream, but at least I can stay here for a while today. Tomorrow, as long as tomorrow comes, I will really leave here!

……

"You've learned quite well. You've even learned all the rituals related to the four elements." Morpheus smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Atalanta who was working hard to carve a magic circle with her hands and then cast magic with the help of the magic circle.

"This feeling of refining magic power... is really strange. I've never used magic like this before." Atalanta said, relying on the concept of water elements in the magic circle to draw the power of water in front of her.

Here, Morpheus did not ask the other party to use the power of angels, but connected the concept of water element to the power of Atalanta's mother Clymene and her grandfather Oceanus.

Both gods, including her parents, had concepts related to water and the ocean. Relying on this connection in their own blood, combined with the symbol of the water element, Atalanta quickly mastered the use of water elements to cast magic.

It's a bit tricky, but it's convenient, fast, and natural. Most importantly, it's very easy to learn.

After all, in this magic ritual, Atalanta herself is the biggest concept. It is because of her bloodline that she can learn these modified magics so easily.

However, after using magic to condense the water element into an ice blade, and then shooting it out at an extremely fast speed, creating a bumpy patch in front of it, Atalanta asked with some concern:

"I've been studying hard these past few days. This magic clearly uses the power of my mother and grandfather. Although we are related by blood, I haven't actually been given any power. Does this count as stealing divine power? Or even blasphemy?"

"Not at all!" Morpheus retorted immediately, "What you're using is just a fake. It has nothing to do with your mother and grandfather. This magic simply utilizes the concept of water, the divine power brought by your mother and grandfather's bloodline, to connect with another god."

"Another god?"

Morpheus smiled faintly. "This other Oceanus has nothing to do with your grandfather. He is a purely conceptual being, not existing in this world. You can use this power without worry. He will never cause you any trouble."

Atalanta was relieved to see Morpheus's solemn promise. Although she was happy to gain power, if it was an act of blasphemy, she would rather not have it.

Atalanta also used the water element to perform some magical operations. Although the opponent used magic to attack extremely roughly and seemed very unskilled in treatment and other aspects, this high-intensity magic bombardment was already comparable to the most powerful magician of the Age of Gods in some aspects.

Feeling this intensity, Morpheus could only secretly sigh that the existence of "bloodline" is indeed a cheating existence sometimes. It has only been a few days of learning, but it can already display such exaggerated destructive power.

"That's right. Although modern magic has found many alternatives with the help of the Golden Dawn, and even stones on the roadside can be used to cast magic, in ancient times, those who wanted to cast magic would seek spiritual beings. Atalanta's own bloodline was the most spiritual being."

Thinking silently in his heart, Morpheus stopped the other party and told him not to hurt the poor beach and the poor crabs anymore.

Then, Morpheus took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to the other party: "Come, now it's a written test, let me see how you answer."

Atalanta looked at the question in the title and fell into deep thought.

Question 1: What is a curse? Is it magic? Where does the curse originate? Please describe it in 100 to 300 words.

This is a very professional question.

Let’s look at the second question.

Now that you've answered the first question, how can you safely curse someone? If someone curses you, how can you protect yourself?

Yes, there were only these two questions, but it was these two questions that made Atalanta fall into complete contemplation.

If it was Atalanta from the past, she would definitely give simple answers based on what she understood or what she thought.

But now, after studying under Morpheus for a few days, especially focusing on the curse direction, she knew that she had to deal with these problems well.

She had enough reason to believe that even if the gods cursed Morpheus, he would not be affected by the curse at all, and would even make the existence that cursed him suffer.

Morpheus's attainments in curses are terrifyingly high!

So, after carefully thinking about the answer to the question and confirming that what she thought was correct, Atalanta wrote the answer on a piece of paper and handed it to Morpheus.

She was a little nervous, especially when she saw Morpheus staring at the paper in silence. She felt like a prisoner waiting for judgment.

However, when Morpheus smiled, Atalanta finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she felt completely relaxed.

"Yes, Miss Atalanta, your answer may not be a perfect score, but at least it passed. Well, I mean, it passed according to my standards, which is enough for you to use normally in actual combat.

"Especially regarding how to curse others, your answer was very good. You really took my words to heart.

"Cursing someone is a very common magical method, but directly casting a curse on yourself is a very foolish thing to do. Because our means of defending against curses are mainly to counter the curse. Once the curse is countered, it will return to its original path, and the caster will suffer.

"But there's too much malice in this world. As long as there are people, as long as there's self-awareness, there will be malice. These malices are entangled with each other. We just need to guide some of this malice and inflict it on the target."

When Morpheus said this, he raised his hand, took off the necklace he was carrying from his neck, and then tied it on the other person with his own hands.

This action made Atalanta freeze on the spot. She didn't even dare to move, and just asked helplessly, "What, what is this for?"

"A little gift for you, or the final content of these lessons."

Morpheus said, and immediately took a step back after fastening the necklace.

"From now on, never let it leave your body. Always carry it with you. If you truly master what I teach you, you will understand what this is."

When Atalanta heard this, she forced herself to suppress her pounding heart and carefully shifted her attention to the necklace.

The eyes are strange, but they contain special magic power. This is an enlightened instrument, or a spiritual item!

Atalanta, who had been learning about curses in recent days, immediately recognized the identity of this thing.

"Eye of Horus?!"

It is said to be related to the Egyptian gods, but there is no real connection. It is a powerful treasure created entirely by the magic system mastered by Morpheus, representing the protection of the gods!

Naturally, it can also protect the wearer from curses and other harm, and can even restore one's body, spirit, etc. It is definitely a very precious treasure!

"This, this is really too precious!" Atalanta couldn't help but say.

As a result, Morpheus shook his head:

"It's not precious. In fact, I can make it myself. And the longer you wear it, the stronger its power will become. So remember my words, never take it off!"

Seeing that Atalanta was about to say something, Morpheus immediately brought out a presence that could suppress her: "Don't worry, Artemis has already paid the reward, and you can get this treasure."

This time she did not hide her identity, and when she heard the name of Artemis, Atalanta finally confirmed her guess.

Morpheus and Artemis do have a connection!

And looking at this situation, the relationship between the two seems to be more friendly than I thought!

So, who exactly is Morpheus? Why does he have such a close relationship with all the gods?!

"You and I are considered master and disciple, so it's okay for me to tell you." Morpheus thought for a moment and smiled. "I am Morpheus, that's my real name, but I also have a magical name, a name I use to clarify my true self on my magical journey. Veritas000, meaning one who pursues truth!"

It was a strange name, but it had its own meaning. The special name represented a special goal, and this peculiar behavior made Atalanta once again feel the firm belief of this mysterious man in pursuing his own path.

After these few days of contact, Atalanta felt that the other party was very knowledgeable, very humorous, and really had the real talent. Now, she felt the other party's strength even more.

"What a wonderful man! No wonder even Lady Artemis would befriend him. What a shame! There aren't many men like him in this world, are there? From my perspective, this is the first time I've met a man like him in my entire life..."

Thinking silently in her heart, she couldn't help but want to sigh. Atalanta smiled and bowed to Morpheus.

Then she said sincerely, "Thank you, teacher."

This was the first time she spoke to a man so sincerely!

Chapter 50 Another World

For Jason, although he was ready to set off the next day, some minor incidents still occurred on the second day.

Perhaps he was a little fed up with these people singing and dancing on the island every day and completely forgetting their mission, so Hercules rushed directly to the place where everyone was gathering and loudly scolded them.

"How shameful!" Hercules did not hide or be tactful at all. His roar was so loud that it almost deafened everyone in the place!

"How dare I be on the same boat with you guys? It's so shameful!!"

Some people wanted to refute, but no one dared to stand up directly. They all knew how powerful Hercules was, and Hercules did not pause at all and continued:

"Is this the noble goal you're willing to risk your lives for? Is this why you've left your homes and families? Where has the dream that burned in your hearts gone? What will people say about us if they know we've escaped the hardships and dangers ahead to enjoy the comforts of life here?"

Hercules' words were deafening, and he even began to call out names one by one.

"Jason, what would men say of you if they knew you had abandoned your promise to accomplish the most impossible and noble undertaking in the world?

"Why has Theseus, the great hero who once risked his life to kill the Minotaur and save the children of Athens, fallen?

"Idas, you once fought against God single-handedly without hesitation, but now you have become like this. What do you think others will say about your current state?"

Hercules' words left these famous heroes speechless, and Hercules just sneered.

"Well, let me tell you something. People will say you've ruined the reputation of heroes! They'll say you cowered like dogs in the face of danger! Now, your true colors have finally been revealed!"

This made these people unable to listen any longer, but at this moment, Percy Belle stood up.

"Great hero Hercules, please don't insult my man Jason like this. He is not truly addicted. In fact, today's meal is his last. He told me yesterday that he would set off today!"

Jason took Hyperion's hand, stood up, looked at Hercules a little embarrassedly, but then laughed, as if Hercules's scolding just now was nothing.

"Hercules, I mean what I say. I will definitely fulfill what I told you. So, I will set out. Before you make us all die of shame, we will all set out together!"
